Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces low-fat rice cakes
- 100 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds. Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with freshly chopped dill, black pepper, sea salt, and lemon zest until all ingredients are well combined. This mixture will be your spread.
Take the low-fat rice cakes and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture on each one using a butter knife.
Arrange the cucumber slices evenly on top of the cream cheese layer on each rice cake.
Place the cherry tomato halves on top of the cucumbers, gently pressing them into the cream cheese to ensure they stick.
Optionally, garnish each rice cake with extra dill or a sprinkle of lemon zest for added flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the rice cakes, or pack them in an airtight container for a delicious snack later that's still low in fat.
